Girls paper dolls

Girls seems to be one of the most controversial shows in recent years, but I have to say, I really like it. The frank dialogue is totally hilarious, and it really captures a certain group of early twenty-somethings. (I also have a girl crush on Marnie.) What do you think? Love? Hate? Either way, you have to admit, these paper dolls are pretty rad.

Such a timely post! I was prepared to hate this show based on the first episode but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and kept watching. I just got all caught up last night and I love the show now. Cannot wait to see what happens next! These paper dolls are hilarious.

I really like it a lot. I think that there was maybe one episode early on that was a bit of a flop, but overall I really like the authentic look at urban 20something life. I love that the main character is so realistic looking. I'm so tired of actresses that are just cookie cutter versions of each other. I find this show really refreshing. And I have a girl crush on Marnie too. I don't know anyone else who is watching it, though. I'm hoping it isn't one of those great shows that ends up getting cancelled bc of lack of an audience.

completey in love with this show. i laugh out loud everytime, it's real and down-to-earth yet absurd at the same time. as a 20-something, i appreciate this show - it truly is refreshing. and those paper dolls - awesome.

I am loving this show... I wasn't prepared to though, because it just seemed like a rip-off of Sex and the City, which I never really got into. I don't watch a ton of tv, but I find myself waiting all week for this one. But.... I can't stand Marnie - she is the character I currently love to hate. I adore Jessa, really like Adam, and love this show.

Christine - I was looking for the pantyhose for a long time and couldn't find them. Do you mean the bottom character? That's actually a scene where she's naked on the bottom half (after doing crack...)

I absolutely love GIRLS. I think I may even try to get my husband to watch with me thus Sunday night. I saw in the previews that Michael Imperioli is going to guest star. He was so great in The Sopranos.

crazy timing...I just watched the first episode this morning because I have been put on partial bed rest at 29 weeks pregnant, and I need something to pass the time. I THINK I like it, though not sure. Definitely interested enough to watch more. As I always do, I enjoyed the interview with Lena the creator more than the actual episode (you can see that if you watch it on demand)

CANNOT get enough of the show. I don't always think it's funny, but I do think it's so real. Shoshanna's crack outfit is definitely the funniest element here.... those control top stockings are hilarious!!!

After the first episode I hated it. I thought if it wanted to be the voice of our generation (as so many call it) it needed to represent us better and show more then just white wealthy girls. But then I started watching it again on an evening with nothing better to do, and I have to admit that I like it a lot. I like that it shows the less glamorous aspects of your 20s (being broke, facebook stalking your ex, drinking too much, etc) but I gotta say, I still think the characters are all spoiled and the show needs some color!

Love GIRLS! Cannot get enough of it. As a 27 year old city girl I can say it completely captures young to mid 20's perfectly (at least for my group of friends). It's crazy how realistic it is (in a good way)!

I hate the show and I really hope it gets cancelled. I agree with that it only captures a very specific group of people because that is certainly not me. I prefer to see women on Television especially the young people doing something useful with their lives rather than drinking recklessly and having sex with douchebags. If it's the life that most young girls are nodding their heads to and saying it's relevant to their lives, I just pray for humanity. I have to say I've never hated any show as much as Girls to be honest.

Was just fighting with a friend about it this morning! I love it. I said any show that captures that tug of war between knowing the right thing and still not doing it gets my vote. Also, when was the last time someone talked about wacky period timing and what happens when thighs rub together on television?

I think it's interesting that people violently hate the show. I mean, it's one thing just to not care for a television show, but people have come out in droves to proclaim how it does NOT REPRESENT THEM!

Um, okay. The Cosby Show didn't represent me, either, but I thought it was funny and entertaining. Or Lost just didn't interest me, so I didn't watch it. The End.

I have very mixed feelings about this show. I am the same age as the characters, and I find myself simultaneously relating and not relating to them! It's very odd - I say that it's "not that great," yet every week I find myself looking for links to watch it!

But Marnie is so self-centered!!... she was so mean and ungrateful to her boyfriend and too immature to break up with him, and then when he finallyyy dumped her she couldnt handle not being the one to make the choice! and so she tricked him. i LOVE the show but while Marnie pretends to be the one to have it all together, I think she's the least good-hearted.

I think it's absolutely hilarious. I don't know if I would go straight to "brilliant," which is where most reviews end up. It's essentially an exact transcription of most conversations I have with my girlfriends, and we certainly aren't brilliant. That having been said, it makes me "ugly laugh" and reminds me that there are a zillion other people in the world in their awkward 20's.

Ok my name is jessa and its SUPER weird to hear it thrown around all over here. I've never heard of anyone else with that name. (Its actually jessamine but I've been called jessa since kindergarten. ) never seen the show, now I must. Haha

I would really like to see the show, especially after hearing all the claims that it speaks strongly to 20-somethings...but as a recent graduate trying to make her way, I don't have a lot of friends that can afford cable much less HBO! Guess I'll have to wait for Redbox...

Ok people, Shoshanna's not wearing pantyhose, she's NAKED from the waist down. She stripped off her skirt running around on the streets freaking out after accidentally smoking crack at a party. But there does seem to be a shadow there that looks like control top pantyhose... weird. That was probably the funniest scene of the season! I like this show but agree that it's not 100% relatable. And it actually bothers me that Hannah is so "normal" looking - she doesn't look normal, she looks terrible! It's like she PURPOSEFULLY tries to look like a breast-less lump in every episode. My girl crush is definitely Jessa.

I love the show! And I might be the only person who watches it in Spain, because nobody know about it here... But anyway, I also was the first of my friends who started whatching HIMYM ;)And I also have a girl crush on Marnie, she's lovely!http://summerinsavannah.blogspot.com.es/

I didn't like it when I first saw it. But now love it after watching a marathon last friday (kids were away!). Some of it makes me cringe but so does thinking about my early 20's. Some of it I can't relate too and chalk it up to them being from a younger generation. It's a relief to see the different body types for sure. Yep, like it very much!

i really wanted to like the show but find it really repetitive and predictable.. a lot of hilarious and witty writing for such a young girl but also a certain quality that reflects her age and lack of experience and interaction with different layers of life.

I hadn't heard of this show (in UK & don't have cable) until I watched a clip via here. Downloaded all current episodes & didn't sleep well last night, been awake since 2.30am however I have now watched all episodes shown so far back to back & find the show hilarious & quite brutally honest. Thanks for the recommendation :)

I wasn't sure about it at first, but I've come to love it. The Crackcident episode had me laughing out loud (love the reference in the paper dolls)! It's a nice change from the whole NYC, Sex in the City-type show where everyone is thin and perfect and has lots of money. I appreciate the realness of it, for sure.

I had a few close friends recommend the show to me; they fully expected that it would be one I would enjoy, and be right up my alley. I was pretty skeptical (I generally am when there is SO MUCH hype surrounding anything). While I wanted to enjoy it, I completely hated it.

I completely commend the writing, and how brave it is to tackle that subject matter the way Lena Dunham has, although it just has not been something I enjoy.

Its just like Moulin Rouge (a movie I SHOULD like considering all the things I already love), but I hate it. I guess Girls now fits in that Moulin Rouge category. C'est la vie, oui?

the paper doll designer, Kyle, is one of my husbands close friends. my husband is a guitarist and Kyle built/designed him a guitar player "paper doll" like 7 years ago. i realize now I need to get that out and frame it. great to see him having all this success now & can't wait to start watching the show - I havent seen it yet but know I will probably be addicted after one episode.

I love it! Girls is the only series that I am watching each week in years, as opposed to waiting for the dvd. Although they are all in their early twenties, most of my friends in their early thirties are in very similar situations.

I'm obsessed with it. I frequently have to go back to rewatch entire episodes and scenes. My favorite so far was when Hana and Marni were dancing in their apartment. It reminded me of my best friend and I in college and it was such a real moment, omg. So good.

I've been unable to find anyone else who watches Girls, so it made my day to see this post (love the paper dolls!!) and read everyone's comments. I love the show - Lena Dunham is amazing! I love her sense of humor and love that all the girls on the show are real - smart, beautiful, funny, and relatable. Looking forward to seeing where the show takes the girls.
